XFactor's Johnny Has Found A New Best Friend In Robbie Williams!!

Could this actually true: Johnny Robinson and Robbie Williams are friends!! Well it appears so! Robbie was on last weekends show and Gary had hoped that he would help and support his act, Marcus Collins but Robbie seemed very taken with Johnny and spent most of his time talking to him!

So you wonder what did they talk about... well the topic of the conversation was 'Aliens', with Robbie even suggesting that Johnny fly out to America to go alien hunting.

Johnny revealed, 'Robbie was a gentleman, really lovely. We had a long chat about UFOs as we are both interested in talking about them. We've both seen UFOs and I have done alot of research so Robbie was interested in talking about them.'

A source said, 'Rob was teling him about UFO trips he goes on in the States, where they travel to 'hotspots' to hunt extra-terrestrials. He suggested Johnny try one as he really rates them.'

Well we thought a friendship with Robbie was odd but this takes it to another level... literally!!

Product Review: Karora Tanning Products!

So we recently got in touch with Karora Cosmetics who as I'm sure you all know stock an amazing range of tan. The company offer a pure, natural and glamorous alternative to traditional chemical-laden cosmetic, skinwear and tanning products. Their mission is to deliver the purest, most effective and stylish products in an environmentally conscious ways. All of the products incorporate a pure and natural organic profile.

Karora stock many different tanning products and we were very nicely sent KARORA Self Tan Mist Natural, KARORA Smooth Operator Micro Peel, KARORA Gradual Bronzing Moisturiser and KARORA Luminosity Mineral Shimmer Dust. I have to say I loved them all.

So what did I think:
I loved Karora's products. They were streak free and easy to apply. The best thing about the products girls and what you all want to hear about is the smell! I know girls hate the smell of tan, no one wants to smell like a curry or a bag of potatoes and you certainly won't with Karora. The products have a lovely citrus smell and are not over bearing at all. They last very long, I have done two full bodies of the tan and still have plenty left. They are very reasonably priced starting at 14.99. I'm going to do a breakdown of each product to let you know what I thought of each one.

KARORA Self Tan Mist Natural
I really liked this product. It was streak free, good smelling and came off my skin with no horrible marks. It went on very even and got a little darker over night. My sheets weren't ruined from excess tan and the smell was far from overbearing. I really liked this tan, the only thing I would prefer is if it was darker. If I was order it again I would go for the darker version. This is great for giving you a natural glow though. I, as most of you who know me would know, love to be dark and would prefer the darker one. I loved the product itself though.
I would rate this 9/10

Me wearing Karora. 

KARORA Smooth Operator Micro Peel 
A miracle in a bottle is what I like to call this. This product acts naturally to remove the dead skin cells and what a good job it does. It is pain free and non irritating. Enriched with Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and Citrus this product works perfectly and does the job just right. It helps your tan go on and come off evenly and achieve that 'natural glow' look.
I would rate this product 10/10

KARORA Gradual Bronzing Moisturiser 
This is great for extending an existing tan. It's just like a top up and once again is extremely even and streak free. I also really liked this product and found it great. I applied this offer the Self Tan Mist and it was very nice. It is also good to use for people who like to have that natural look during the week before 'Tanning Thursday' starts for the weekend. It gives you a lovely healthy and natural golden glow.
I would rate this product 10/10

KARORA Luminosity Mineral Shimmer Dust
I adored this and I think there is only one word to describe this product 'Amazing'. It is brilliant is very small for fits perfectly in your bag for 'glow top ups'. I used it on nights out to give me a more shimmering look. It is great to apply to the collar bones and other areas which you would like to highlight. When used right I have it broke up the tan to make it look much more natural as you are able to highlight the areas which should be. I would highly recommend all ladies by this and for any of you men who are reading this, this product is a perfect stocking filler.
I would rate this 10/10

So there you have it, I loved these products and was very impressed, you can buy Karora products in most chemists but if you wish to order them online you can do so here. We really would advise that you buy some of these products, you won't be left disappointed. Christmas is just around the corner so why not treat yourself or someone else and get you bronze on?

Check Out My Review On The Amazing WOW Brown Tanning Products!

WOW Brown were recently very kind enough to send us out some of their tanning products and I have to say I was highly impressed. I have tried every tan on the market and an I am allergic to most so I had almost given up, but WOW Brown is now the tan for me!! I am in LOVE!

WOW Brown was created by Fran and Don with the duo putting their hearts and souls into making the best tan possible for their clients. During their time in salons they felt the main issues with tanning were colour guides, undertones, smell, consistency, wear-off, packaging, branding and pricing. They wanted the best tan out there and in my opinion the have!

So what did I think:
WOW Brown DIY- MEDIUM/DARK
Well I have to say that I love it. The WOW Brown DIY comes out in a dark foam colour so you can see it go on your skin. I got to work on it with a mitt. It goes on so evenly and smoothly with colour coming up immediately. There were no streaks, which I am so fussy about and also a nice smell off it! It also goes on well your hands and doesn't clog in your finger nails or cuticle area! Anyone who knows me, knows that I am so particular about tan and although yes we live in Ireland I still want the tan to look as natural as possible. It did! The amount of compliments I got was great!

The other product I got is a godsend and I have to say one of my favourite products on the market!

WOW Brown Ready-to-Glow, express liquid tan.
This little gem is a spray bottle of instant tan liquid that dries in seconds, so you can put it on and get dresses within minutes! Again I used this with a mitt and it glids on, it also smells divine!! It is great for a top up on the WOW Brown DIY or when you just want a quick instant tan! This is one product I will be stocking my bathroom shelves with and my friends christmas stockings with aswell ! WOW Brown also gave me a nice little tip for maintaing your tan and avoiding grainy tan as it fade.. Baby Oil of all things. I used this to moisturise daily and even in the shower! It worked a treat! So for me girls this is the tan for me and I would recommend it to anyone. A definite 10/10.

Chris also revealed that Natasha was pregnant 18 months ago and came close to death due to a ectopic pregnancy. So this is a real joy and blessing for the couple.

Chris told the Daily Mail 'After that, Tash's situation was different and we were forced to go down the route of IVF. There have been a few false starts before striking gold.'

He went on to reveal. 'Noah is convinced he's going to have a baby sister come the end of May. All I know is that I might need a few days off my radio show.'

A huge congrats to the couple and fingers crossed everything goes well for them!

Christian Louboutin of course, aren't they every girls!! I love Alexandra McQueen as well, as I love the quirkiness!

What makes your shoes different from everything else on the market?
We thrive on quality, thats are number one goal, that these shoes will last. You don't want to spend money on something that is not going to last, these are shoes that you are going to have forever.

Where did you come up with the name? 
Funnily enough my husband Jay who came up with it! Its simple really Style which we are promoting and Stilettos so put them together and you have it - Styletto!

Who target market? 
Ages 18- 40. Everyone loves shoes and we cater for a large age bracket! All our shoes are tribute based on top designers labels, something that every girl wants. Affordable and high fashion, so from young girls on a night out, to business women we have something for everyone!

It seems that Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler are set to wed again, according to a US report. The Chicago Bears quarterback, who on Sunday's game with San Diego Chargers broke his thumb is said to have proposed to the reality star again and she has accepted.

We wrote in July that Cutler and Cavallari had split shortly after their first engagement but it looked like the pair had reconciled when the sportsman was spotted cheering on Kristin as she took place on the US show Dancing With the Stars.

A source tells Life & Style magazine, 'She's already told her friends that the engagement is back on. They haven't set a new date yet.' They had initially set a date for Summer, 2012. So we will have to wait and see does Cavallari get her dream day after all.

The judge could be banned from doing it after complaints that it is advertising her new perfume. Her tattoo has the same name as her new scent 'The Female Boss'.

Ofcom are investigating the complaints and if they find that the gesture breaks advertising and promoting rules she may be asked to cover up the tattoo altogether! Im not sure about the rest of you but I had never being able to read what it actually said so are people just taking it a bit too far!

Product Review - He Shi Self Tan!

He Shi were recently kind enough to send us out some of their products to try out for review and I have to say I was extremely impressed. The tan is amazing, flawless and gives you a perfect natural glow. Mother and daughter team Hilary and Shelley McMurray spent a considerable time in research realised there was a gap in the market for an instant self tan, with a little odour that would provide and quick and easy application for the user. As a result of this He-Shi was born in 2004.

The products we were sent!

They stock many different tanning products but we were sent Express Liquid Tan (Step 2) which we loved. This is a self tanning bronzer which can be used on both the face and body. It is brown on application which makes it a lot easier for you to see and therefore leaves no streaks. It is quick drying and suitable for all skin types. The tan is very natural looking and gives you a sun kissed look within minutes.

He-Shi Express Tan Liquid - Step 2. 

What did I think: 
So I think any of you who know me know that I am an absolute tan worshipper and wouldn't be seen without it and I loved this tan! It's streak free and instant. I love to be dark while wearing tan yet I still want it to look natural and it gave me a lovely even brown look without looking any way orange. It was amazing! I also got sent out a mitt from He-Shi which was perfect for the application, it gave me a great, smooth coverage. The tan goes on a nice even brown and gets a little darker over night, it doesn't come off too much when you wash it in the shower the next day. I found this too be great as there is nothing worse than loving your colour and then it all washes off. It doesn't leave an awful smell, I hardly noticed the smell of it to be honest. You could easily apply it on a morning and wear it during the day and wash it off that evening if you wished as it does not stain your clothes. I found it faded off very naturally which I was impressed with, I would be more than happy to use this tan again. I loved it and would recommend that you all go and get yourselves a bottle.
I would rate this product 10/10.

Demi Moore Files For Divorce!

It saddens us to reveal that Demi Moore has filed for divorce after 8 years of marriage to Ashton Kutcher! A month after model Sara Leal claimed that she slept with Ashton on the eve of his 6-year anniversary Demi filed for divorce with 'great sadness and a heavy heart'.

Demi just days after filing for divorce

Demi said, 'As a woman, a mother and a wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is with his spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life. This is a trying time for me and my family and so I ask for some compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation.'

Ashton and Sara Leal, the picture that caused the marriage breakdown

The Two And A Half men star acknowledged Demi's statement taking to Twitter, 'I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi. Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately they fail. Love and Light. AK.'

We feel for poor Demi in all of this as she did not want her marriage to fail, now she just needs to pick up the pieces and carry on. We here at Flutterby hope that she is ok and wish her the best.

Frankie's Dad Blames The Show For Making Him Live Up To The Bad Boy Image!

Frankie Cocozza's dad is not a happy man and feels that it was the show itself that was his sons downfall ! He firmly believes that his son was encouraged to go out on the town by his mentor Gary Barlow. Given free reign the 18-year-old began hitting trendy London clubs drinking till the early hours, enjoying all the female attention.

Although Frankie accepts that his son was in the wrong he feels that the show played on his bad boy antics and that Frankie felt he had to live up to that!

He reveals to Now Magazine, 'Frankie felt like it was all about him being the wild child and he lived up to that, thinking it would help him in the contest. Everything was put on a plate for him. People in his position need guidance not encouragement.'

So what do you all think, was it all down to Frankie's doing? Should Gary and the team looked out for him? Personally I feel that he should of being guided more. I can't say I was a huge fan of his but what 18 year old boy would turn down that sort of life-style. He should of being stopped well before it got so out of hand!
